Landcare NT News

​Over 60 attendees participated in the Sustainable Land Management Field Days held at the Aileron Racecourse and on Aileron Station, 130 km north of Alice Springs, NT, on the 12th and 13th of October. Land resource managers including pastoralists, experts from both government and industry, land council representatives and miners united to learn about sustainable land management in the central Australian rangelands.

​As the peak body for community Landcare in the Northern Territory, an important part of the organisations role is to represent, strengthen, support and grow the Northern Territory’s community Landcare movement. Landcare NT recently spent four days visiting with member groups and project partners in the Greater Darwin area. Madonna Wuttke (Executive Officer) and Sheree Bowman (Support Officer) had the opportunity to learn more about the work groups are doing, their achievements and challenges.

SAVE THE DATE (12 & 13 October) for this great opportunity. Landcare NT will be delivering a field day in Central Australia with the aim to improve capacity for conservation and land management for sustainable production and biodiversity on central Australian pastoral lands.

​Landcare was very well represented at the Society of Ecological Restoration Australasia (SERA) Conference held in Darwin last week (10-13 May 2021). Landcare NT and three member groups delivered excellent presentations highlighting the achievements and challenges of the individual groups. The presentations were very well received and really made an impact, with much conversation following the sessions.

Thanks Brian McWilliam of MLRA for all your commitment and hard work. Don't forget to let us know if you are keen to volunteer to take part in more great days like these!
